Michael Crichton at 10,000 words is a crazy outlier.
- em-bee 4y agoi can't write more than half a page without my handwriting getting sloppy. especially because it is slow, i am tempted to write faster, and soon the result becomes unreadable. so yes, anyone doing this must have good discipline in handwriting
- unnah 4y agoDid you do your schoolwork on a computer? It's not that many years ago that a school exam could mean writing multiple half-page answers by hand, and you would also write multi-page essays by hand.
- em-bee 4y agono i didn't. but i never had good handwriting. and once i got out of school i was working with computers all day, so somehow it must have gotten worse since then. i think the main problem is some kind of impatience getting something written down, which i guess i developed after getting used to writing on a computer. in other words i am simply out of practice
